How to check if an element is displayed in a view in VBA?

Hi,

what about to create a fence, set fence mode parameters properly and to enumerate the fence content? I am not sure how it works in 3D (and perspective camera), but in 2D it should work fine.

With regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

I decided to go down that road and it works fine!

I create a fence using the code below:

PT_Zaun(2).Y = ActiveDesignFile.Views(1).Extents.Y
PT_Zaun(3).X = ActiveDesignFile.Views(1).Extents.X
PT_Zaun(3).Y = ActiveDesignFile.Views(1).Extents.Y
PT_Zaun(4).X = ActiveDesignFile.Views(1).Extents.X

ActiveDesignFile.Fence.DefineFromViewPoints ActiveDesignFile.Views(1), PT_Zaun

Works perfectly for our needs!

Many thanks your your support!

Hi,

it's good to know you solved the problem!

My recommendation: Fence uses active fence mode (clip, overlap...), so you cannot expect it will be set as you wish and you can receive e.g. elements outside view, not inside. In my opinion the best practice is to store active values for FenceClip, FenceOverlap and FenceVoid properties in ActiveSettings, change them to what you need, do your code and at the end to return back the settings to previous state.

With regards,

Jan
